Darksinx91-Dude this is kinda weird, but in my next story Naruto's weapon of choice is tonfas.

Ryu-Kamikaze- Yeah sorry about that, I'll try and work on it. You'll find out when he's going to speak to the Kyuubi soon, but I can't reveal too much.

Kingkakashi-Ah back once again, and getting into this section once more. I can see where you are coming from and I'm not trying to say that you are wrong. It's just that for Kushina I wasn't given more to work with other then she has red hair, was kinda a tomboy, was from whirlpool village, and was in love with the Minato Namikaze…plus it was unknown if they were married yet, which I figured was that they weren't because she was refered to, by Tsunade and Jiraiya, as Kushina Uzumaki. I had to pencil in the rest with several of my own theories. Although I think I might have an idea how I can make it work without the Rasengan and him still learning it in the one month period.

Okay I've been looking over many the weapon suggestions and I knew most of them because I've kinda been checking out weapons from Japan. I spent several hours researching and I thought about several very different ones. I started to get angry until I decided to act like my favorite character, Shikamaru, and said 'Screw it I'll let the reviewers decide.' I looked over all the suggestions and I found one that I was thinking of…twice. So the special weapon for Naruto is a kusari-gama, which is two handheld scythes (called sickles if you didn't know) attached to a weighted chain.

--Naruto's House--

The preliminaries were finished yesterday and Naruto was sound asleep in his bed. He woke up and noticed he had a note on his face. It said 'Meet me at the waterfall behind the Hokage's monument for training.'

Naruto yawned and thought, 'Is it really fair for the Hokage to teach his son to compete in the Chunin exams? Can't that be considered favoritism?' He shrugged it off and got dressed and started to jump from rooftop to rooftop.

He went behind the monument and started to look for his dad and he heard a, "Over here." It was not his dad's voice; it was his mom. He turned around and saw his mom, but she wasn't in her usual civilian clothes.

Her hair was tied in a pony-tail by a headband that had for lines that swirled to create a whirlpool symbol. She was wearing a red shirt with the Japanese for swirl in a yellow circle, which seemed like it was slightly too small. She had a big scroll on her back that had a black edge. She had some black pants that didn't reach her ankles, with several kunai pouch on her leg and on the back of her belt. On her feet she wore standard black ninja gear.

Naruto looked at her in shock and asked, "Where did you get that outfit from?" "I was a ninja before, I just went inactive around the time I got pregnant with you. I was a Jounin of the former Land of Whirlpool, specialized in ninjutsu and weapons," was her reply.

Naruto didn't know that and he said, "Really? I knew that you were a smith and you knew how to use weapons, but you never told me you were a ninja. Oh and why do you refer to it as the former Land of Whirlpool?" She sighed and said, " I guess a history lesson won't hurt."

She told him the history. The Land of Whirlpool was a strong nation and was considered to be the nation just below the five great villages. It was east of the southern end of the Land of Fire and west over one of the Land of Water's island and extended over various islands. They had a decent crop and they were known to be excellent weapon smiths. The man that crafted the majority of the Seven Swordsman of the Mist swords originated from the Land of Whirlpool, but moved to Kiri after becoming a smith.

As time progressed on the Land of Water started to become more demanding of the somewhat-weaker village. The village of Whirlpool didn't take kindly to the increasing hostility and started to slowly stop trading with Kiri.

As the hostilities reached their maximum the Land of Water sent an invasion force into their land. They lost many of their small islands in the process. The Land of Whirlpool thought that they'd be weak after killing off most of their people with Kekkei Genkai, but they were still a powerful elemental nation. They did not overwhelm them completely, but it was clear they lost.

Their citizens started a civil war and from that country several formed and Kushina decided to go to a refugee camp in Konoha. The Land of Whirlpool has fallen, but at least there is peace between the new nations.

Naruto looked confused, "Why didn't I hear about this war in school?" Kushina sighed and said, "The schools in Konoha focus on Konoha history and they didn't feel it was important enough…those teme, but enough talk we need to start your training."

Naruto got excited and said, "Great what are we going to do?" She took a breath and said, "Your going to learn how to use the Kyuubi's chakra…through meditation." Naruto looked at her and said, "You want me to use the foxes chakra and what's even weirder is you actually think I can sit still long enough for me to do it."

The red-haired mother rolled her eyes and said, "Just try it. For this focus on your spiritual chakra and try to enter your own mindscape." Naruto mumbled something and did it. It took a few minutes, but something happened. His eyes flared open and then became relaxed and he looked like his mind was gone.

--Naruto's Mindscape--

Naruto was standing in front of the cage that he hadn't seen since he was a young boy. There were a pair of red eyes and a set of huge teeth that were smiling maniacally. Their owner was the Kyuubi.

"Ah Kit, how long has it been since we last came face to face, seven years? To think YOU initiated this conversation, I'm honored," said the booming beast sarcastically. Naruto said, "Shut-up you damn fox. I came in here to ask if I could use your chakra."

The Kyuubi looked at him and said, "Hmmm, I suppose that having a jailer that could protect himself would be more useful to me. You would be less likely to die, thus making it less likely for me to die. Fine, I will give you one-fiftieth of my total chakra, until you are ready to handle more and as a token of mutual necessity I shall give you a small gift."

Red chakra started to focus on Naruto's forehead and his headband fell off revealing that the scar on his forehead was gone. "Ah, m-my scar is gone. Th-this doesn't mean I trust you fox," said Naruto. "That doesn't mean I like you Kit," replied the Kyuubi. Naruto said, "Good, I don't want you to like me."

--Reality--

Naruto was back and there was his headband on the floor. His mother was there with a smirk on her face. Naruto felt his face and said, "You took off my mask." "Don't worry after your training is done you're getting new clothes."

Naruto was a little pissed, but got over it. He tried to channel the Kyuubi's chakra and he realized it was so potent that it was visible to other people. Naruto started to channel it and he said, "Wow this is a lot of chakra. I can't even channel it all and this is a fraction of his power. I could fight for a long time with this huge supply of chakra."

"Okay now that you've experienced channeling some demonic chakra I think you should work on going to the maximum amount that you can handle at the moment. How much did it loan you? If you work on that and staying at that level you will slowly be able to more on at a time. Before we start doing anything else everyday we train you must practice your control over the demonic chakra for about a half-an-hour," said the former ninja.

Naruto said, "He loaned one-fiftieth of his entire amount of chakra. Should I meditate to do this?" His mom just nodded. He grumbled a bit and crossed his legs and focused on the demonic chakra rushing through his chakra system.

There visible red chakra flowing around him. He kept focus on it and tried to keep it at that amount, but it was as if the fox's chakra wanted to be poured out of him. It was just the fox trying to trick Naruto in using his chakra to take control of his body. Naruto's brow started to get sweaty as he tried to keep the chakra at a level he could handle.

Each second felt like minutes as he kept it at a safe level. Slowly, but still steadily Naruto started to find that the task was getting easier. It was still extremely difficult, but at this point it wasn't close to impossible.

At the thirty minute mark his mom told him to stop and he was winded. He wiped the salty sweat off of his forehead and started to take deep breaths. Kushina looked at him and said, "I'm guessing that it isn't easy."

In between his breaths he said, "The fox (pant) makes it harder by (pant) trying to force more (pant) of his chakra (pant) into my system. (Pant) It would probably be easier (pant) if I had a medium (pant) of some sorts to be able channel the chakra into (pant)."

Kushina had a smirk and said, "I think I know an object that would work pretty well, but we'll do that two days from now we have some training to do." Naruto looked confused and said, "Why two days from now?" Kushina looked like she suddenly realized something and said, "I forgot to tell you that we're only going to do this every other day, so you can do whatever with you're friends. Now let's have a spar."

The two started to spar and they were doing great. Kushina won because of her experience and more finely honed skills.

--Hokage's Office--

Minato heard the door close and he knew exactly who it was. He said, without looking up from the paper work, "Hey been a long time hasn't it." The other man said, "Yep, about thirteen years now. So why'd you call for me?"

"What, I can't ask you to come back so we could reminisce about the past as friends?" asked Minato sarcastically. "Well you COULD, but I don't think that's the reason. So I'll ask you again, why'd you call me back here?" asked the man.

Minato said, "Oh I was just wondering…" "Yes, what do you want?" asked the man. "For you to help out with the training of my son. Well I also need some of you reports, but mostly it's so my kid can get a good teacher. My wife is helping him out and I train him occasionally, but…" finished the Hokage.

The other man rubbed the back of his head and said, "Minato…I'm not sure. I'm not exactly up for teaching yet" The Yondaime said, "Oh come on he learns just like me and you know my style of learning."

"Minato, I don't know if I could be a good teacher," said the man. Minato said, "Don't give me that bull, you were a great teacher, Jiraiya-sensei. After all you trained a Hokage. Not many can say that."

"Fine I train your son, but in a couple of weeks so I can get some research done, you little Namikaze-gaki," said Jiraya of the Sannin. This was the moment Minato was dreading as he said, "Actually it is Uzumaki now."

Jiraiya had a weird look on his face. Then as the seconds went by the laughter started to bubble up slowly and he cried out, "BWAAHAHAHA! YOU TOOK ON YOUR WIFE'S SURNAME! OH THAT IS JUST RICH!"

Minato just said, "Yeah, yeah, yuck it up all you want. At least I'm married." Jiraiya said, "WHICH WAS THE STUPIDEST THING YOU EVER DID! NOW YOU'RE TIED DOWN TO ONE WOMAN, NA-UZUMAKI! BWAAHAHAHAHAHA!" Jiraiya started to wipe away the tears he got from laughing so much and slowed it down to a small chuckle.

"Now Jiraiya-sensei, I would like to know the current amount of information you have on the Akatsuki," the Yondaime said. Jiraiya instantly became serious and said, "I have information on a couple of the members." He then gave him a folder with the information in it.

The Hokage looked over the information and found information on Itachi, Kisame from the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist, and Akasuna no Sasori (Sasori of the Red Sand). The information was limited, but it was better to have limited information in a fight then none at all.

"Jiraiya…have you been tracking down Orochimaru as well?" asked the golden-haired ninja. Jiraiya sighed and said, "I've been trying to, but he never seems to be in one place long enough for people to know anything about him. It is starting to get really frustrating."

Minato had a weird look on his face and Jiraiya asked, "Yo, Gaki. What's up?" Minato silently said, "I'm not completely sure. I have a bad feeling about Suna's motives…Maybe I should fix that Sabaku no Gaara's seal, like Naruto asked me to. From what he's told me that kid might snap and soon."

Author's Note

This chapter was really easy for me to make. I hope you like the little conversation between the Kyuubi and Naruto. They still kinda hate each other, but they have come to a mutual necessity. Naruto needs to become stronger and the Kyuubi needs a vessel that is strong enough to survive.

Voting Time

1. Should Naruto help his friends train in the one month period. Obviously not at the same time because Choji and Shikamaru are against each other.
